Ball State men’s basketball will add graduate transfer Doudou Gueye to its roster, The Star Press has learned.

A Ball State source said the South Carolina State graduate signed his letter of intent and will join the team as early as this Sunday. The 6-foot-10 center played in 33 games for the Bulldogs last season as a redshirt junior with 17 starts. He played two seasons at a community college before transferring and redshirting his first season at South Carolina State.

Gueye has one year of eligibility and hopes to play professionally after that.

"I'm going to put everything on this year," the Dakar, Senegal, native said by phone Wednesday. "I'm not sure (where I want to play professionally), but I know I want to go. If I get a chance to go to the league, then why not. I'm 6-10, I've got a little bit of talent like some other people.

"I've just got to put it to work and see what's next for me. I know coach (James) Whitford can help me get to that next level."

This signing will leave Ball State with one scholarship for the class of 2016, that would likely only be filled by a transfer if the right guy becomes available. The Cardinals signed Kyle Mallers (Fort Wayne Carroll) and Zachary Hollywood (Bradley-Bourbonnais, Illinois) out of high school this year, in addition to singing Incarnate Word transfer Jontrell Walker.
